Olympique Marseille

After recording back-to-back wins over the likes of Guingamp and Metz, Olympique Marseille will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Ligue 1 when they face Montpellier at Stade de la Mosson. La Paillade head into Sunday’s football game following a goalless draw with Guingamp and they are on a four-match unbeaten run in the national championship. Montpellier are after their fourth straight clean sheet in the Ligue 1, but preventing the star-studded visitors is easier said than done. OM are eager to stay in the race for the title and despite the fact that La Paillade have been in a fine form of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Rudi Garcia’s men. Florian Thauvin scored his seventh goal of the season in the 3-0 win over Metz and he is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders.

Highlighted Player (Benjamin Lecomte):

Benjamin Lecomte is a French goalkeeper who started playing football at the age of six. Lecomte was born in Paris on April 26, 1991 and in 1997 he joined Arcueil Municipal football academy. After spending eight years at the club he joined Antony Sports in 2006 and four years later he moved to Niort. Finally, he continued his footballing development at Lorient.

In January 2011 Benjamin Lecomte signed a professional contract with les Merlus and it has to be noted that he made 119 appearance in the league for the club from 2010 to 2017. In 2017 he moved to Montpellier, signing a four-year deal with the Ligue 1 outfit. The Montpellier goalkeeper has 2 caps for France U20 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team.

Highlighted Team (Olympique Marseille):

Olympique de Marseille are considered one of the best French football clubs. Les Olympiens won their ninth Ligue 1 title in 2010, but winning of the 1992/1993 Champions League trophy is seen as the club’s biggest success. Marseille defeated Italian giants Milan in the title game, with Basile Boli scoring the winner (1-0) in the Olympiastadion showdown. It has to be noted, though, that the Stade Velodrome outfit were banned from defending the title in the 1993/1994 season after being involved in a match-fixing scandal. To make things even worse for the fans, the club suffered enforced relegation to the Ligue 2. Olympique de Marseille participated in the Europa League final on two occasions (1998/1999, 2003/2004), but they were beaten by Parma and Valencia respectively in the title games. OM’s home ground Stade Velodrome was opened on June 13, 1997 and the capacity of the stadium is 67.394. The likes of Franck Ribery, Didier Deschamps, Didier Drogba, Laurent Blanc, Fabien Barthez, Samir Nasri, Fabrizio Ravanelli and Djibril Cisse all played for Marseille in the past.
